16: The Flame Harvest Technique, Catch Ye Liufeng

Immediately after the collapse value message popped up, another message popped up in front of him.

【Ding!】

【Event "Ye Liufeng's Imperial Palace Romantic Encounter" has ended!】

【Summary of this event: Your timely appearance made Baili Fengming fall in love with you at first sight. She has recognized you as her true destiny. You successfully destroyed Ye Liufeng's Imperial Palace Romantic Encounter opportunity. Furthermore, in this choice, you successfully made Ye Liufeng bear a bad reputation and reduced his Heavens Mandate Luck.】

【Performance Reward: Collapse Value +80!】

【Successfully plundered the protagonist's opportunity: Demon God Seven Edicts!】

【Hint: Item rewards will be delivered to the host in an appropriate manner. Please wait for a while.】

Huh!?

The life choice for Ye Liufeng has ended?

Lin Sheng was startled, but then he thought about it.

Originally, in the previous choice, Baili Fengming was already completely disappointed with Ye Liufeng. The only relationship between the two was the prophecy of the "true destiny".

Now that Baili Fengming thought he was the "true destiny", there was completely no relationship between her and Ye Liufeng.

This romantic encounter event naturally ended.

Coming back to his senses.

Looking at Ye Liufeng below, who suddenly paused for a moment, then looked around, Lin Sheng chuckled inwardly.

'The system's control over him has temporarily ended. It seems he's going back to normal.'

He was curious about how the other party would react.

But on the surface.

Lin Sheng still replied calmly, "Let you go?"

"You're thinking too much."

"For the sake of the Heaven Sea Grand Elder, I can escort you back to the Holy Land properly, but if you have any other ideas, don't blame this Holy Son for not remembering our fellow disciple relationship."

He spoke lightly, with not much emotion in his tone.

But when the people below heard this, they couldn't help but nod.

"That's right, that's right. The Holy Son should be this aloof."

"The Holy Son is so cool!"

"If I were in the same camp as him, the sense of security would be off the charts!"

"......"

The surrounding voices quickly cleared Ye Liufeng's somewhat dizzy mind.

Thinking of everything that had just happened.

His features tightened, and his brows furrowed deeply.

What just happened?

Why was I so out of sorts?

The current situation didn't allow him to think too much. He shook his head, temporarily shaking off the doubts in his mind, and looked up again at the white-robed young man standing with his hands behind his back in the sky, looking imposing.

"Lin Sheng..."

As he spoke the other party's name, Ye Liufeng's emotions were unusually complex.

He never expected that this spare tire's cultivation would one day surpass his own, and even immobilize him with just spiritual pressure.

Originally, he felt a little regret.

It was a pity that with him around, this spare tire would never have a day to shine...

He raised his head proudly, his gaze fixed directly on the figure in the sky, and spoke loudly and fearlessly: "Lin Sheng! Don't bully people too much!"

"I can only tell you that I have not betrayed the Holy Land!"

"As for the specific details, just..."

When he said this, Lin Sheng interrupted, "Just let me take you back to the Holy Land first!"

As he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly narrowed!

In an instant!

A pressure a hundred times more terrifying than before suddenly descended upon Ye Liufeng!

Without warning, giving no time to react!

Ye Liufeng was holding onto his last shred of consciousness, still thinking of counterattacking, but the spiritual power in his body was already "scared silly" and couldn't be mobilized at all.

Boom!!

The ground was smashed into a huge deep pit by the infinite spiritual pressure. In the center of the pit, Ye Liufeng was embedded in the soil, his life or death unknown!

Lin Sheng knew the principle that villains die from talking too much very well.

Therefore, he was unwilling to give the other party more time to speak or react.

After defeating Ye Liufeng with one blow.

He extended his index finger and pointed at Ye Liufeng's body from a distance.

In an instant.

Ye Liufeng's body turned into a burning flame, which rapidly shrunk as it sped towards Lin Sheng's palm.

By the time it reached Lin Sheng's palm, it was already a tiny, insignificant wisp of flame.

If you looked closely with a magnifying glass,

You could even see the unconscious "mini Ye Liufeng" in the center of the flame.

——This was the "Flame Gathering Technique" from the Heavenly Fire Alchemy.

This technique was originally created by alchemists to quickly capture various large medicinal materials, but after learning it, cultivators could also use it to capture people with weak resistance.

"So strong!!"

"The Former Holy Son was no match for the current Holy Son at all!"

"I finally understand why the Former Holy Son ran away. It's because he was afraid of being defeated by this new Holy Son in public!"

"That makes some sense..."

Although they knew the gap between the two sides was huge, the surrounding cultivators and commoners still couldn't hide their surprise at such an obvious crushing defeat.

In the air.

After collecting Ye Liufeng, Lin Sheng could have left directly.

But since he was already here, he had to get his hands on the Demon God Seven Edicts or whatever it was.

Just as he turned his gaze towards Baili Fengming, a dark cloud suddenly drifted from afar.

Along with the black cloud came a hearty laugh that echoed throughout the city.

"Hahahaha——"

"Young man, can you leave the person in your hand?"

"The person in your hand is my friend. If you are willing to hand him over to me, then I, the Minghe Old Ghost, will owe you this favor."

"With this favor from me, even if you ask me to accompany you through mountains of swords and seas of fire in the future, I am willing to comply!"

He hadn't finished speaking.

All the cultivators, commoners, and even the royal family members of the entire dynasty were already scared pale.

"It's the Minghe Old Ghost!!"

"Damn it! Five years ago, he was already a Supreme Six-layer evil cultivator! The Golden Dragon Holy Son probably can't handle him!"

"So the Former Holy Son and the Minghe Old Ghost are friends? No wonder he would do something like betraying the Holy Land."

"Shh! Do you want to kill everyone! Keep your voice down!!"

Whoosh——

The black wind blew, condensing into a black-robed old man about three meters tall, with unusually wide shoulders and waxy gray skin, in the air about a hundred meters away from Lin Sheng.

The old man's hair was like fine yellow hemp rope, or like a head planted with withered yellow willow leaves.

He curled his blackened lips, smiling strangely.

A necklace made of strung-together skulls hung around his neck, some of which still had bloodstains.

After transforming from black wind into his true form.

The old man first glanced at Lin Sheng, then immediately cast his gaze towards the crowd below.

"Hehehe... I kept my promise with the Sword Saint Changhong and did not leave the Underworld River for ten years."

"But now my friend is in trouble, so I have to break my vow and leave the Underworld River early. Yet, after only five years of disappearing, the world has forgotten my evil reputation."

"It seems..."

His whole body surged with black energy, looking like he was about to attack the crowd.

Lin Sheng frowned, suddenly throwing out a wave of golden sword talismans to interrupt his spell, his tone extremely cold: "I'm still here, and you dare to be so presumptuous?"

If he just watched the Minghe Old Ghost slaughter the people, his reputation would be completely ruined!

Looking at the Minghe Old Ghost.

In Lin Sheng's vast and profound eyes, like the starry sky, killing intent appeared for the first time!
